Bassman88 Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Is the Lexa 400 overkill for throwing hudd 8” and hudd 68? I’ll be taking it off my offshore fishing rod. Getting back in to fresh water fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEbucketmouth19 Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 I use the 300 size for those baits but I don't think the 400 would feel like its too much for 8 inch hudds. Maybe for the 68s you might lose some casting distance but on the right rod a 400 size reel should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrizzleyShad Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 I agree with the other guys, Not overkill at all. I use it for 8" and 10" inch hudds and balam300 with no issues. 300 size for the 8" and 68s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman88 Posted February 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Good to know I don’t need to purchase another reel. Are you guys using 20# or 30#? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
